"FIne. But I will follow close behind." Rex said as he watched the young half-elf closely.
Yikes, I guess I will try to enjoy my week of mid 70sF/mid 20sC weather for everyone... :P
"Ever feel like you're being watched?" Rex muttered, as he handed the ioun stone back to Quinn. "Alright, let's get this over with..." He said, as he raised his shield and stepped past Jibril, giving the elf one last clap on the back. "Everyone stay behind me. Let's go see what's beyond that door..."
"Alright. Thanks" Rex said, as he exchanged torches with Quinn. "Still alive? Jibril?" He shouted down the slide.
"Okay, I'm coming down!" Rex shouted, as he moved to the slide.
Rex raised his shield. "We should be on guard for any danger?" He looked around, but felt blinded by the darkness. "Let me see if Jake had a...If I have any torches in my pack." He pulled out torch and lit it, "Ah ha!"
Rex watched Quinn closely. It was about this time he would make one of his 'worried about your boyfriend?' jokes. But the moment didn't feel right. He did, however, snort derisively at Relgonath being called High and Mighty. "Of course he did..." Rex replied, not in the slightest bit surprised that Jake would be doing whatever it takes to win. "Alright." He said resolutely, "Where exactly is this grand finale everyone keeps talking about?"
Rex thanked the healer, "Woah. That feels better. I don't think I noticed how uneasy I was feeling until it went away. You have my gratitude." He took the food gladly. Man those biscuits are good. He also reveled in the compliments that they broke the arena. Yeah! We sure stuck it to them!" However, like Jibril, he was troubled by the 'Avie's saviors' remarks. He got a slightly angry look. "Come on now. You can't mean...out of all those groups..." He looked sadly at the little girl.
Rex scratched his head, "So I have to admit I didn't pay a lot of attention to our initial instructions. Is there a place we are supposed to take these pieces?" He shrugged at Jibril. "I guess the hall is as good a place as any to start..."
Rex watched Quinn. Would her shaming them work? They could only hope. "Ok. Let's get her to safety..." He said as they walked, "Then what?" He looked towards the tokens, "Do they fit together? Are we still missing any?"
Sorry to see you go, but wishing you all the best.

Rex felt some of his anger dissipate at the child's joy. Perhaps now it was more than just a cruel challenge meant to torment them for the entertainment of others. Maybe they had actually done something good. However, his mood quickly fell. But what to do with her now. Whispering to the others he said, "Does anyone have somewhere safe to take her? What if they try to get her back?
"Good riddance indeed". Rex said, as he stayed at the top of the rope. "Dizzy, do you want me to lower you down? He asked.
Rex started making his way over to the door. "I'll bash it if I have to...but I let Quinn look first." He told the others. "Don't want to jam something..."
Rex said, "Yeah, Jibril should check the doors. If they are stuck, maybe Quinn can get 'em open. In a pinch I can try forcing them again too, but I might need people to help lift. They are pretty heavy." He looked over at the arena seating. "I'll see if I can find a safe path through the bleachers...then maybe Jibril can bring over our rope." He looked reassuringly to Dizzy, "I'll lower you down if I have to..."
"Perfect! Let's grab it, plus the kid and get out of here." Rex shouted back as he scouted out a clear path to the exit.
"Do what you gotta do." Rex said, his frustration clear. "You'd think this challenge would be good old fashioned fighting. Not engineering and child murder...
"I'll start searching the rafters, I guess." Rex declared, not sure how else to help, but feeling far to antsy to stand still.
When Dizzy pulled him off, Rex swung around for a moment, almost as if he was going to take a swing at her. However, he quickly regains his senses and stepped away from the destroyed remains. He took several deep breaths. "Right. The tokens." He said, shrugging as if nothing just happened, but undoubtedly looking a bit rattled.
Rex lifted up the emperor, as his eyes gleamed unsettlingly. He then proceeded to repeatedly smash him into the ground.
"Allow me!" Rex said, after waiting just long enough for confirmation from Quinn, as he moved to rip the emperor from his stand.
Rex hoisted Quinn to the rope before jumping up after her. Your going to pay now emperor! He thought to himself as he rushed towards his goal.
Rex readjusted under Quinn wait. "Jamming sounds good. Cutting sounds like whatever its holding will drop." He looked at the ground beneath him. "Not sure if dropping is what we want..."
"Alright! I'm coming up!" Rex grunted as he tried to clamber up to Quinn.
Rex returned to pacing, the whole time watching the emperor like he was prey. He turned back to the others, "Where was that grappling arrow someone was going to fire?"
Rex cursed and grumbled as he lost yet another avenue by which he could take out his revenge on the emperor. "Fine. Coming" He grumbled, as he ran over the Quinn and gave her a boost up on to the ledge.
"He's not getting the girl! I won't let him win!" Rex growled. He turned to Jibril. "Do you have a hook? Can you get a rope up there? he asked with an almost crazed look in his eye. Pulling out his sling, he wound up and tossed a bullet toward the scarecrow emperor's head.
Rex sighed. "Looks like the whole thing is rigged to fall anyway..." He hopped down to the arena. He pulled out his longspear and began listening carefully.
Rex nodded back at Jibril, though he did not meet Jibril's smile. His face only showed stone cold determination. "Yes. Let's smash him...". He began climbing up the rows of seats once more, this time paying closer attention to the stability of the area and trying to avoid any attempts of sabotage by the emperor.
Rex tumbled and fell, landing under a heap of rubble. Coughing, he struggled his way out of the pile. He cursed loudly and kicked one of the chairs, cursing again from the pain that the impact caused. Not taking his hatred filled eyes off of the emperor, he growled towards the others, "Someone have a rope?"
That was crazy. I've never seen them be down for more than maybe a day before. That was basically a week if you don't count the half day it was working in the middle...
Rex moved to the game and put all his strength into trying to force it open.
"I don't know..." He said through gritted teeth. "It seems pretty stuck." Looking up at the gleeful emperor, he said, "Let's check out what chuckles has over there..." He began trying to clamber up the stands towards the emperor.
Am I just being dumb or can you not edit character profiles from mobile anymore?
"Of course we're not going to kill a kid," Rex responded to Vilhelm. His contempt fot the idea was clear in his voice. "I don't even what to believe that's the goal. Surely even fans of this crazy game have some standards..." Rex agreed with Quinn, "Our priority should be figuring out where the tokens are. Lets have everyone check a gate. And yes, if the emperor has it and won't give it up..." His eyes narrowed, "I say we beat it out of him..."
Rex looked around the arena. "Uh guys...I'm sure your teeth are really important to you...but this place is starting to catch on fire. We need to find these tokens soon!" Rex tried to look through the smoke for any new information.
Rex grabbed the fleeing fairy by the wing as it began to fly away and threw it towards the ground. Turning around he directed a spinning kick at the one distracted by its assault on Quinn then brought his fist slamming down towards it.
Rex spat out the dust. "Well, unless you've got a spare, I'm going to have to stick with my plan of hitting them really hard." Rex replied to Vilhelm. Turning to the girl, he shouted, "Hold on kiddo...I'm coming...". Breaking into a charge he ran at the faerie assaulting the child.
Finally free of the snakes, Rex took a step forward and starting swinging wildly at one of the fairies on Vilhelm.
Looking back, he saw Quinn fall to the ground, he shouted "Hey! Not a great time for a nap!"
Rex continued to bat away the snakes, but they kept nipping at him and he was beginning to make him feel a bit woozy. He glanced over at the straw emperor. Screw him. Rex thought to himself as he began stomping on the snakes.
Rex trapped one of the snakes, then hoisted it into the barrel. The creature very nearly was able to escape. "Okay. That was practice. I think I have this down now...someone deal with our newest friend..." Rex said to the others.
Rex kicked the snake away like it was a pest. However, he suddenly felt a bit woozy. Trying to shake it away, he picked up the forked pole.
Rex picked up the forked pole and tested it's weight. He brought it slamming down hard into the ground fork first. He gave Jibril a shrug. "Maybe we're supposed to bring it down on the snake in such a way that it is trapped." He looks around and think of the other items. "It does seem like the items are all design to incapacitate or distract the creatures."
Rex realized the other cards had been placed and desperately looked around the arena for some other way to be useful that didn't involve being good with children.
Vilhelm and Dizzy seemed to be far more comfortable around the child, so Rex left that problem to them. Instead he focused on having the next two cards ready. "So...save the wings for last like the kid wants? Or do the snake thing last?" He asked Jibril.
Rex was surprised to see an actual child. He eyed her a bit suspiciously at first.
"Uh...No...We don't want to kill you..." Rex said as he picked up the doll and waved it around, "Want to come play with this pretty doll here?"
Rex winced. Yikes! That had sounded less creepy in my head! He looked to his companions for help, looking lost and afraid. Clearly charging at a bear was far more natural for him than interacting with a child. He tossed the doll to Jibril who was near him. He has a calming demeanor...or I guess we'll see...but it's his problem now... he thought, as he slowly stepped back from the situation.
